Looks interesting. I was round at a friend of a friend fixing their windows pc, was going to install Ubuntu but didnb quite understand what i was going to do so I left it. Wishing I had now - spent 3 hours installing .net frameworks remotely! Took forever... Depending what happens with the rest of the updates i might well suggest this to them. Thanks for the heads up.
